    It's on!!! Varda definitely runs more than me, so if she is generous enough to give you all to the 15th, I'll have to start posting on the 10th :)

    Forgot all about this! I'm going to start from the 10th as well.

    10th - 5km
    12th - 5.1km
    14th - 12km
    17th - 4.8km

    Total so far - 26.9km (out of 48km)

    I have a 5km run planned for tomorrow and a 12km run for Sunday which just leaves me 4.1km to reach 48. But I think Petra has this one all wrapped up!

    19th - 5.1km

    Total - 32km

    Two more days. Just to let you know, that will be:

    - 4 miles on Sunday, 15
    - 11 miles on Tuesday, 17
    - 3 miles on Thursday, 19
    - 4 miles on Sunday, 22
    - 7 miles on Tuesday, 24
    - 3 miles on Thursday, 26
    - 4 miles on Sunday, 29

    So, I'll probably be eligible for the card by the 26th. However, I have the run on the 29th to seal the deal.

    - 4 miles on Sunday, 15 - actual 3.2
    - 11 miles on Tuesday, 17 - actual 11.2
    - 3 miles on Thursday, 19 - actual 3

    Total: 16.4

    I'm close :D 23.3 miles as of Monday, another run tonight. So after my Saturday run, I should hit 30 :D:D

    And thanks for all your guys' support!

    I'm not sure how to work on my "cadence" - any tips for that?

    This is "running cadence" not military cadence.

    Sept 17: 6.1Km (3.81 miles) Total miles: 26.56 miles

    Sept 19: 6.25Km (3.90 miles) Total miles: 30.46 miles!!!!!
    I did it!!! I know I've been chipping away at this but the distance has still surprised me. A few months back I would never have believed I could run this far in one month.

    rduhlir, thank you for this challenge. I don't keep track of my running totals and this has shown me how far I've come along this path. We've all done so well on our journeys.

    While I won't be holding a candle to ya on this one, I can still log 2.5 today, for a total of 17 for the challenge. I have a 10k Sat, so send some rock star Petra vibes my way :).

    27.3 miles as of last night :x

    Nice job Plex! :) It's kind of cool seeing how far you've come and how far you're running.. I love using Endomondo for that because it tells me like how many cheeseburgers I've burned (not as important), how many trips to the moon, etc. :) Kind of cool. Plus it's nice seeing the running categories on my charts zoom up month by month! Very exciting!

    I'm running the Trans Canada Trail ( http://tctrail.ca/explore-the-trail/ ). It's a cool incentive to keep moving.

    I'm logging my runs on Runnin Ahead ( http://www.runningahead.com/ ). It's interesting to see the monthly stats. On this site, I'm logging my entire workout distance & time, which includes some walking after running at least 5K.

    Congrats Plexgut. Expect your postcard to be in the mail! I picked a photo of the Memhpis skyline!

    Congrats to everyone else as well, just think of how far you have gone! I have more challenges coming as well, but looks like Plexgut has one planned. Cant wait!

    Great job everyone.
